Sheila here! As we've been talking this week about new research showing that for many women, sex is like ChefBoyardee ravioli out of a can, I thought I could give you some hope that women can experience Nonna's ravioli too! I receieved this from a reader, and I...
Everyday I get emails, comments, and DMs about how our books are changing lives. Before we wrote The Great Sex Rescue and She Deserves Better I had written several other books. But the reaction is so starkly different. I’m hearing over and over again about lives...
Being the higher drive spouse can be really frustrating. You want to connect with your spouse, and you want to have a passionate marriage, but it seems like your spouse doesn't share those same desires. And that can feel like a rejection. This is the last post in the...
Over half of Christian women report that orgasm is, at best, a hit and miss thing. Many can't reach orgasm at all. This month, I want to dedicate my series to orgasm--understanding what it is; understanding why we have roadblocks; and culminating in the release of our...
If I were going to make a marriage app for couples to spice up their marriage, what would I focus on? I've often wondered that. I've thought about how I'd encourage fun "games" where couples get challenges to do more foreplay, but in a fun way, that helps them explore...
Does your marriage feel "sexy"? Or does it feel "safe"? "Routine"? "Boring"? There's nothing wrong with safe. There's nothing even wrong with routine! But let's face it: sometimes you just want to get sexy back again. Note: This post contains some affiliate links. In...
What does it mean to be "attracted to your husband"? What does that actually feel like and look like? I've been talking about libido all month on the blog, and one of the problems when we're talking about libido is trying to understand what we even mean by being...
Are libido differences really about libido--or are they often about orgasm? We've been talking about libido all month, and how to navigate libido differences. And as I've been repeatedly saying, our survey of 20,000 women (and others) have shown that often when a...
Do you feel really alone when your spouse rejects you sexually? We're talking about libido all month on the blog, and I opened by talking about how to find contentment even if you're the higher drive spouse and not getting as much sex as you want--assuming you're...
What do you do if your husband rarely wants to make love? He can go forever without initiating, and you feel lonely and rejected? We've been talking this week about what constitutes a healthy frequency of sex in marriage, and what to do if sex is far less frequent. I...
We talk about frequency issues and libido issues in marriage as if they're the problem to be solved. But what if they're more symptoms of other problems? Every now and then we record a podcast that I think is truly important. I mean, I like them all, but some are more...
Are the higher drive husband, and you're wondering what to do because your wife rarely wants sex? We opened the week looking at frequency of sex in marriage. Usually marriages start off with couples having sex relatively frequently (like at least several times a...
Many, if not most, of my readers are low-libido spouses. Sex just isn't the biggest need you have, and quite frankly, most nights you could do without it. I get it. I've been the lower libido spouse for most of my marriage (it does go up and down, though!) Today I...
When it comes to sex, how much is enough in a marraige? How often should you make love? We're in the middle of our libido series on the blog this month. Last week I was asking higher drive spouses if they could be content if they had sex at the very least once a week,...
"How would you feel if your husband only talked to you once a week?" In today's podcast I'm dealing with three kind of controversial issues: Can we be content with sex if we're the higher drive spouse? Are sex and emotional intimacy truly equivalents? Should we be...
